> No one uses DynamoDB alone: they bolt it onto Postgres after realizing they have availability or scale needs beyond what a relational database can do, then they bolt on Elasticsearch to enable querying, and then they bolt on Redis to make the disjointed backend feel fast. And I'm just talking operational use cases; ignoring analytics here.
Perhaps MongoDB is prime for a comeback?
I've seen it used in many places over the years.
Today I would choose JSON in Postgres before I would just jump to Monogo but it certainly serves a purpose for many shops and it is still widely used AFAIK.
I _really_ miss RethinkDB.
Hat tip for compass, very nice tool I was just losing last week.
We use Atlas and it "just works" so no comment on administering mongo vs rethink haha.
If Rick's vouching for it maybe it's time to give it a try. It must be pretty mature by now.
Lots of good info in the response in this SO post
